Touche...
After reviewing further, you are correct, first post was created by @SunShinex5 on 22-07-2020 at 12:43 PM. I do not exactly recall the first post I encountered on this thread when I began my quest. Honestly, it didn't matter, people were and continue to get scammed by the same, uncorrected. unaddressed, unresolved and unnecessary means. If nothing else, all victims and supporters should attempt to prevent future occurrences to other responsible parties.
My very first post was on 25-07-2021 at 01:19 PM. The prior post to that, from @Jo929, was on 28-05-2021 at 04:56 AM, a little less than two months prior to mine. At that point, dates, times, and other specifics became irrelevant as an identical issue had occurred recently. So, now that you mention the thread being almost a year old, ok, but, that concerns me increasingly more as this unresolved issue is still occurring, now, almost a year since being addressed on THIS thread. It would appear, even with limited research and analysis, nothing has changed, specifically to the benefit of the innocent, victimized buyer, since being initially mentioned, yes, almost a year ago. I find it increasingly bizarre the similarities of the new disputes versus the old. My question and concern would be: "why is this continuing to occur"? Reasoning would have it pp was aware of the scam almost a year ago and has failed to reasonably address the continued disputes with near identical circumstances. Neither here nor there, I have initiated and submitted a new (unresolved/open) thread to continue to address this nonsense and try to develop and implement policies which actually support the victims and NOT the useless scammers. A reasonably responsible company would have addressed this concern, analyzed available options, provided possible warning signs to their customers, and attempted a much more expedient and less involved/distressing course of action. At a minimum, all members should have received an email alert, warning of the scam and potential measures to help eliminate the risk and many unnecessary headaches and increasingly wasted time.
So, as I relentlessly pursued the appropriate outcome for my dispute, incessantly researching forums, dates/age of similar, relevant complaints became unimportant. This scam is out of control and even minimum measures by pp have failed to be implemented in a timely fashion. When will this end? For me, it ended on Sun, Jul 25 at 10:12 AM, (please see attached picture), nearly two days and 21+ hours of dedicated, detailed and persistent research, collection, investigation and communication. That's unacceptable and I understand and I fully understand the admittance of defeat. Thankfully, I have the time, resources, patience and availability to pursue, whereas many of the others are not as fortunate. That's where my motivation escalated. It sickens me this continues to be occurring and poor policies, practices and expectations are still in place, against the victims nonetheless. With my drive and will to not back down, I obtained the desired outcome. Was it worth it? It wasn't about the money or reimbursement, it was the completely unnecessary and inappropriate attack on me, requiring overwhelming time and resources to prove m innocence. What was I guilty of? I, as well as all of the other victims on this thread, went above and beyond to hold up our end of the deal. We ordered our item and, more than likely, paid immediately thereafter. The ball was no longer in our court. Justification of not receiving a package, paid in full, should not rely upon the buyer. It is my ultimate goal to continue to pursue this idiocy and mistreatment of loyal patrons to bring appropriate attention to prevent any future occurrences. I won't back down, even offering my advocacy , time and resources to help clear the names of those being charged for no fault of their own. Reiterating the useless policies of pp does, in no way, justify a request for kudos or resolution. If others are here for that reason, or to pursue their rank in the community forum, it may be time for them to step down, or, change gears and offer actual, feasible advice at resolution. All of the victims on this thread understood the inappropriate requirements imposed upon them by pp and did not need to have it explained again, nearly verbatim, from any member, especially someone of your tenure. They/we needed feasible advice to not only help resolve our cases and clear our names, but, at least a little advocacy and support for our disgust and completely inappropriate, unadjudicated attack on us, our values, our morals, our integrity, our character, our patronage or our will to do what is right for all parties involved. for following through with the transaction, to the best of our ability, based upon our knowledge and available resources. No one, with the front-line defense CSRs at pp had our sixes, leaving us flapping in the wind in hopes we would admit defeat, closing the case(s) most expediently as possible, all the while, eliminating the need to provide necessary or expected/promised resources for the victims. That, in my book, does not make a dedicated, caring or compassionate/responsible company and clearly not one I will bet burned by or unnecessarily accused from ever again. I produced, formatted and submitted overwhelming proof, on my behalf, which was continuously and sarcastically dismissed, in favor of the scammer. pp was dead set on only one specific piece of evidence which proved impossible for some victims to obtain, causing them to not only lose their dignity, time and money, but being informed they had been defeated by the scammer. Please explain to me why this should be considered acceptable business practices, specifically toward members with immaculate and untarnished records. pp continues to accuse us of unjustified dishonesty, requiring us to step up and involve countless hours of our limited resources, specifically, our most precious and unrecoverable, TIME!!! As I have been, and (fortunately) continue to be blessed with appropriate time to address these malpractices, I still won't back down!!! Regretfully, it is too late to continue to pursue justice by those first burdened and harassed by these morons (scammers) and pp alike. However, and most fortunately, I/we may be able to dedicate the resources to attempt to offer appropriate care, compassion, and more importantly, assistance, to those who continue to be taken advantage of by the imbeciles, nuisances to society, and pushed aside by those who consistently fail to appropriately provide even minimal dedication and assistance. Please see below for appropriate attachments/pictures/resolution, and advice...
Have I made my point of view clear, crystal?
Live Life, Make Memories, Rock On, and Pursue Happiness and Justice.
Criticism and recommendations welcome!!! Kudos are not sought, wanted, desired or requested - please use kudos sparingly and dispense appropriately to deserving individuals. Advocacy is voluntary, persistence, motivation and dedication is mandatory, reiteration of pp policies and procedures is both unnecessary and unwelcome. We have already received the inexcusable and unnecessary counseling from pp and have not come to this thread, initiated posts, dedicated time and resources, shown motivation and persistence, and sought advice and compassion while here, only to have it, practically verbatim, forced down our throats again!!! BOTTOM LINE - let's just get this **bleep** corrected and prevented from occurring!!!
